Ingredients

6 people
For the ground beef wraps
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 500 gram ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers (different colors, diced)
  • 400 gram diced tomatoes (canned)
  • 400 gram chili beans (canned)
  • 100 gram sweet corn (canned, drained)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • Olive oil (salt, and black pepper, to taste)
  • Optional: shredded cheese and sour cream
For the fresh avocado salad
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 avocado
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt (to taste)
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes or black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for a few minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
  • Add the diced bell peppers, canned tomatoes, chili beans, corn, cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and dried basil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together and let simmer for 5–10 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the salad. Dice the cucumber, tomato, and avocado into small pieces. Combine them in a bowl with the lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes or black pepper, if using. Toss gently to combine.
  • Divide the ground beef mixture evenly among the flour tortillas. Top with shredded cheese and sour cream, if desired. Add some of the fresh avocado salad to each wrap, or serve it on the side.
  • Fold the tortillas around the filling and enjoy!
Good to know:
Adjust the spice level: For milder wraps, replace the chili beans with regular kidney beans or black beans and omit the red pepper flakes.
Make ahead: Prepare the beef filling up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Storing leftovers: Keep the cooked beef filling refrigerated for up to 3–4 days. Store the fresh salad separately and preferably prepare the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
Freezing: The ground beef filling freezes well for up to 3 months. Let it cool, transfer it to a freezer-safe container, and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving suggestion: Serve with guacamole, extra sour cream, shredded cheddar, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
